CRUELTY AT SEA.
Serious Charges Brought Against a
Searsport Captain.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April IA story of
alleged cruelty was related by five sailors Of
the ship Belle of Bath, of Searsport, Me-,
before United States Commissioner Bell to-
day. The vessel sailed from Queenstown
March for this port. Captain William G.
Nichols was charged by the men with hav-
ing twice tied them up by the wrists. The
seamen were James Brady, James Cronin,
George Smith, James Martin and George
Knowles Brady testified that on March 26
the captain ordered him and other members
of the port watch, who had just been re-
lieved from duty by the starboard watch, to
report on deck at once. This the men re-
fused to do, upon the plea that they were
unable to work more than day. The cap
tain then gave them their choice between
extra work and being ''triced" up. When
the crew persisted in their refusal the cap
tain had them brought on deck Brady said
he had been hung up by the wrists in irons
for over an hour, and that the rocking of
ship caused his toes to swing clear off the
deck, causing him great pain. Brady and
another witness declared the captain was
under the influence of liquor during the
entire voyage. James Martin, George Smith
and the other port watch men gave similar
testimony.
The captain, through his counsel explain
ed that the ship was passing through heavy
weather, and extra work upon the part of
the crew was necessary to its safety. The
port watch hands had refused to obey his
orders at the critical time and prompt and
stern discipline was necessary. The sailors
OF the starboard watch were present at the
nearing to testify in the captains behalf.
Captain Nichols was held in $1,000 bail.

a MEDIUM EXPOSED.
Lively Scene at spirItuaIIstIc Sc
ance.

BOSTON, April 14.-A lively scene was en-
acted at the house No. So West Concord
street, this afternoon. which resulted in the
exposure of the well known Spiritualstic
medium, Hannah V. Ross, who has been
holding very successful seances in this city
for some time past, and has by her success
as medium, attracted many prominent peo-
pie. 1t seems that number of gentlemen.
suspecting the authenticity of her manifes-
tations, formed themselves into a committee
OF investigation, and for three weeks have
been quietly watching the proceedings at
each seance. They became convinced that a
gigantic fraud was being practiced. and just
before the sitting this afternoon one of the m
swore out a warrant for the arrest of Mrs
Ross and her husband, Charles r. Ross, who
is the alleged manager of the exhibitions
Two policemen, in citizens clothes, were
smuggled into the room and held ready to
assist in any demonstration made by the
members OF the exposure committee The

While posturing before the audience, Mr..
Woods OF Hayerhill grabbed the supposed
apparltlon, other members of the committee

cured Mr.. and Mrs. Ross. The captured
spirit was found to be a young girl of IA or Is
years of age, robed very scantily in white.
Her clothing was found in the cabinet, to-
gether with many properties" consisting
OF yeils, masks, etc. The principal articles
OF Mrs. Ross's usual attire were also found
in the cabinet and seized by members of the
committee. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross, with some
OF their intimately interested friends, made
hard struggle, and several of the invading
party received blows in the struggle. The
medium and her husband were finally turned
over to the police and carried to the Station
house, where they are now locked up. The
warrant charges them with obtaining money
under false pretences. Mrs. Ross was quite
prominent in Spiritualistic circles in Proyi-
dence, where, it is stated, her trickery was
exposed some three years ago. This is said
to be the first case of an arrest for this par
ticular kind Of swindling that has ever been
made in this State.

THE VICTORIA.
Later News from the Wrecked Steam
ship.
One Boat Load capsized and Many
Of the People Lost.
Many Americans Reported TO Have
Been on the Vessel.

NEW YORK, April 14.-A dispatch to the
World from Dieppe gives the following ad-
diti0nal particulars Of the loss Of the steam
Ell. Victoria. At 410 Wednesday morning.
when the steamer was close upon the coast,
a dense fog prevailed and as the fog horn
signal at the light house was not sounded
those on board had no Indication Of the peril
they were in. The fog horn indeed, did not
sound until some time after the vessel had
struck on the rocks on Varengville. Cen
siderable alarm was displayed by the passen-
gers when the first shock was felt The Of
fcers, however, believing that the vessel
would be safely carried of by the tide, as
sured them that there was no cause for
anxiety. AS time passed, however, and the
Victoria remained firmly Fixed, excitement
increased, and when at 5.15 a. M, Captain
Clarke ordered boats 10 be lowered. many Of
the female passengers were In state OF
panic.
The officers did all In their power to allay
their fears, but unfortunately with only
slight success. During the lowering OF one
OF the boats lady's cloak became entangied
in one Of the davits with result thatrhB6oaF
was almost Llmmediateiy capsized and all the
was rent with the terrified shrieks Of women
ana children. Every effort TO rescue them
was made, but In spite Of all that could be
done, several were drowned. Three female
bodies and that Of child were washed
ashore, but no others have as yet been re-
covered. The entire number OF lives lost IA
not known, but Is asserted 10 exceed 90
Two boats containing 81 passengers have
reached Fecamp in safety, and another land
ed several more at DiePpe, where they now
remain. 1t Is reported that a number OF

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
At the Conservation of a Bishop at
Providence, r. l..

PROVIDENCE, April 14.-It was FIR. Har-
kins this morning, pastor of st. James
church in Boston. At the present moment it
is Bishop Harkins of Providence, the
guardian of one of the most beautiful cathe-
drals in the world The city is full of people
from Boston, New York and other places.
OF course there are a larger number of
clergymen than laymen. 1t would not be a
bad estimate to say that at least 1000 clergy
men are here today to take part in the cere-
mony. Among them were Rev. Hugh Roe
O'Donnell, Rev. Fir. 0'Callaghan, Fr
O'Brien, son of Mayor O'Brien, Rev. Fir.
Corcoran, Rev. FIR. Boursand of Boston Col
lege, Rev. j. j. McNulty, Rev. w. A. Blen-
kinsop, Rev. John F. Cummins and many
others.
The early morning scenes about the cathe-
dral were very interesting. Crowds of
people, some with tickets and some without,
made number of unsuccessful onslaughts
on the many police officers. The police met
each rush bravely, and in one or two in
stances the club was used with good effect
The arrangements were satisfactory as a
whole, but of course there were many dis
satisfied. One man said that he saw rs
Protestants and 25 Catholics go into the
church during the few moments that he was
standing there. The crowds grew in front
of the cathedral from O'Clock this morning
to 9, when the doors were thrown open
With great rush the crowds poured in, and
half an hour later the immense cathedral
was filled.
AT 10 o'clock the crowd was enormous,
there not being vacant seat anywhere. A
few minutes later tickets were refused at the
doors, and those ON the outside had to con-
tent themselves with the beautiful music
which filled the great cathedral and out
through the open windows on the gentle
spring air. AT 1890 o'clock the grand organ
began the strains of the familiar Kyrie, and
the grand procession of bishops and priests
began. 1t was brilliant pageant and well
worth the many ann0yances passed through
to witness it. The grand procession was led
by Bishop O'Reilly of Springfield, the senior
assistant consecrator, followed by the clergy
men in the following order:
Junior Assistant Conseryator-Rt. Rev. l.. s
MeMaaon, d. d., Bishop Of Hartford Cenu.
High Priest-Very Rev. M. M. MeCabe, Vicar
General OF Woonsocket, X. /.
Deacons OF Honor to the Archbishop-ReY. Ed
ward Murphy, pastor of st. Mary's church, Fail
River; Rev. M. A. Wallace, ID. d. LID pastor
OF st. MichaePs church, Providence.
At the conservation in the evening the
cathedral was thronged. At the vesper SER
vice Bishop Harkins officiated, and Bishop
Bradley Of Manchester preached a sermon.
The benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
by Bishop Harkins closed the exercises of
the day. The musical service of the evening
was very elaborate.
